IMO, we only have Fulham to worry about now. I can't see Forest getting 9 more points than us or Brentford 10 or 11. The rest I think are too far behind and would have to win just about every game to finish above us.
I think the Fulham game is going to be our season defining fixture.
It's going to be MASSIVE!

Agree danum, a draw would do! Their run in is quite tough in comparison to ours, we could have a further 6 points before we play them and after Fulham 7 games left.
Looking good πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘.

Too right Danum. A fair few of Fulham's other games are really tricky too.

Looking at Fulham's fixtures and ours don't think fulham is that important, if we can get 15 pts it means they need to win 7, 18 pts means they need to win 8, can't see it happening.

Have been saying since Christmass Fulham were the team who could overtake us, even that is looking unlikely now.

Fulham have the one thing we have been missing a prolific goalscorer and this makes a big difference.
Last year I felt the same and the wheels came off hopefully we have learnt the lessons from that
Finally let's hope that the EFL referee's love affair with Fulham will stop because the decisions that they have been getting are unreal especially around Penalties - Not just us ask Swansea about the two cast iron calls they had recently.

Agent Howson must have had his heart in his mouth in the 74th minute when the ball hit his arm, but on balance he and Agent Clayton have done us proud in their two draws v Forest this season.

Clueless, you might be right. The tactic of having a Leeds fan or ex Leeds player at key championship clubs seems to be working :-)

I have to say I was never a fan of Stuart Dallas. At best I thought he was a decent but average championship level performer. However, he has gone up several notches and is now more than worth his starting position in the first eleven. Ditto Jack Harrison who initially didn't even appear to up to Dallas's level. Interesting how things change. Phillips wasn't that great either!

If you watched KP in U23s he showed back then he had class. Getting into first team he was just a young lad learning his trade in a completely new position. Last year he played well but this year he has really taken to his role and enjoying it. Not sold on Dallas to be honest. he deserves his place in the team for the 100% he gives every game. In a way i wish he could play one position and say this is mine try and take it.

Bub think KP SD are both first Class and we need to keep both.

If Kev is injured, would be worth a look. You can bet, if we don't, someone like WBA will!

He’d sign a short term contract to the end of the season and get injured in two days.

With a four month ban from football - no thanks.

From Phil Hay;

After Leeds United's loss at Nottingham Forest, Marcelo Bielsa shelved his usual video analysis session and gave his squad a rousing speech instead.

It got a big round of applause and Leeds have flown since then; the right intervention at the right time.

So much for not being a motivator, eh?

So final 10 league matches to go and on the back of 4 straight wins we all feeling in good spirit and confident hopefully for promotion?
Let's hope the final 10 games produce a better return than the final 10 games from last season, 4 wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats.
I can see us possibly winning at least 6 of the games we have left. I know we can only focus on one game at a time but believe we have arguably the better run in our of the top 5 contenders for promotion.
Still tough games to come but surely got to be our time.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

02 Mar 2020 10:25:44
My mistake guys counted one game too many, but sure you get the point. We lost more than we won on the final 10 games run in.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Mar 2020 10:35:03
I said at the start of the season that due to lack of quality in the playing staff we would struggle against the better teams in the division and therefore we need to maximise the points from playing the teams outside the top ten to win promotion. That hasn't changed imo which is why losses against the likes of QPR are more upsetting to me than against Forest etc. i'm particularly pleased with the reults over the last 4 because those are games on paper we are good enough to win. The next game is a tricky one because we should be beating Hudds but because it is a derby it is arguably more difficult for us than for other teams. Fulham will be very difficult but we have home advantage so would be happy with a draw. Cardiff again we should be beating but they are very tough to play at their place and their game is one that our set up doesn't do too well against. The next 3 are really tricky imo and the outcome of the season could well depend more on them than any other run of games. If we come out with a win against Hudds and 2 draws that will set us up well and should hopefully keep the momentum going for Luton, Blackburn (although they are doing well of late) and Stoke.

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Mar 2020 11:20:34
No game is a given but i can see us being a couple more points clear of third by the end of the month. If we beat Fulham that will have a massive impact on the rest of their season.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Mar 2020 11:27:05
Agree alf, most will be expecting us to beat Huddersfield easily but it will be a very tough test. Despite how well we played in the second half against Hull, we can't get complacent. Regarding the others in the hunt, forest got several tricky games and Fulham got us, wba, forest and brentford. It's hard not to get carried away but still see a few more twists and turns ahead.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Mar 2020 11:56:10
Defo think we will have a couple of twitches, but the team seem determined NOT to replicate the form of this time last season. That resilience has certainly been apparent in the last 4 games, and will hopefully be enough to see us through imo. (Please, please, please) .

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Mar 2020 13:29:32
Don't worry lads.
We'll be up with 3 games left to play. πŸ’™πŸ’›πŸ’™πŸ‘.

Danum - up with 3 to play would be sweet, but I'm not counting any chickens 'til they've been plucked and roasted.

Promoted with 3 left would be amazing! 3 weeks of hardcore celebrations! Rehab for 4 weeks afterwards!
